Tropical fish have taken up residence in the lagoons, along with the dolphins and two species of turtles: green turtles and hawksbill turtles. Between July and October, several species of whales come seeking the protection of the lagoon to give birth. You can also see baleen whales, humpback whales and sperm whales measuring up to 98 ft.
